Multi-business operations
Run every service business you own from one workspace.
You run more than one shop — plumbing on one truck, electrical on another, an HVAC business you took on last year. MasterBuilds puts all of them on one board and one login, with each business kept its own color, its own books, and its own numbers. No juggling separate apps, no jobs bleeding across companies.

The problem
Why one-business software breaks when you run several.
Every field-service app on the market assumes one company. It gives you locations, departments, and teams — but they all roll up to a single business, a single set of books, and a single brand on the invoice. That is fine if you run one shop with three vans. It falls apart the moment you own two or three separate businesses.
So operators do what the software will not: a separate login for each company, a separate subscription for each one, and a spreadsheet on the side to see it all at once. Your plumbing jobs and your HVAC jobs never share a screen, so nothing is ever really in one place. You pay three times and still cannot answer the simplest question — what is open across all of it today?
Separate logins and bills
One account, one subscription, one password per business. The cost and the context-switching both scale with the number of companies you run.
Jobs bleed together
Force two businesses into one account and their work orders blur — you cannot tell at a glance which brand a job belongs to or which books it lands in.
No cross-business view
Nothing shows every company on one screen, so the whole operation lives in your head or in a spreadsheet that is out of date by lunch.
Running several trades under one brand rather than separate companies? That is a different setup — see multi-trade software for one business that does plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work.
One board
One workspace, every business color-coded.
MasterBuilds gives every business its own color. That color rides the edge of the card and a small dot beside the name — it never fills the card, because the fill is reserved for status. Read one board and you see two things at once: what state each job is in, and which of your businesses it belongs to. Two shops never blur together, even when their jobs sit side by side.

The lifecycle
The same lifecycle runs per business.
Each business runs the full lifecycle on its own — intake, board, field capture, invoice — with its own books underneath. Nothing is shared between two companies unless you decide it is.
IntakeBoardField captureInvoice
A request email lands and becomes a work order on the right business's board — see how email turns into a work order. The status board shows where every job stands across all of them, and your crew captures photos, video, and time from any phone with field capture. Approved time and materials roll into an invoice from the business that did the work — not a blended company total.
Inter-business invoicing
Bill one of your businesses from another.
Real multi-business work crosses the line all the time. Your electrical business does the rough-in on a job your plumbing business booked. Your HVAC crew lends a hand to the plumbing side for an afternoon. When that happens, one of your businesses owes the other — and the books have to show it.
MasterBuilds handles that with inter-business invoicing: the business that did the work invoices the business that booked it, cleanly, with a PDF both sides can file. The money moves on paper the way it moved in the field, and each set of books stays honest. It is one of the messiest parts of running several companies, and it is built in — our guide to running multiple service businesses covers the rest of the picture.
Pricing
Flat $99/mo, unlimited businesses and crew.
One workspace is $99 a month, flat. That covers every business you add and every person on your crew — no per-seat fee, no per-business fee, no charge for the fourth company you take on next spring. What you pay to run one shop is what you pay to run five.
That matters most for operators, because the whole point of adding businesses is to grow, and per-seat software taxes exactly that. See what a workspace includes on pricing, why flat-rate pricing beats per-technician plans as your crew grows, or how MasterBuilds compares to the usual field-service tools.
Questions about running multiple businesses
- Is this multi-location software or multi-company software?
- It is multi-company software. Most field-service tools give you multiple locations under one business, one set of books, and one brand on the invoice. MasterBuilds is built for one operator who owns several separate businesses — each keeps its own color, its own board, and its own books, all reachable from one login.
- How many businesses can I add to one workspace?
- As many as you run. There is no per-business fee and no cap on the number of entities in a workspace. Operators typically start with two or three and add more as they take on or launch new companies.
- Are the books separate for each business?
- Yes. Every business is its own entity with its own jobs, its own crew assignments, and its own invoices. Numbers roll up per business, not into one blended company total, so each set of books stays clean and separate.
- Can my crew work across more than one of my businesses?
- Yes. A person can be assigned to jobs on any business you own without paying for them twice. Crew is unlimited and shared across the workspace, while the work itself still belongs to the business that booked it.
- Do I pay more for each business I add?
- No. The price is a flat $99 per month for the whole workspace, no matter how many businesses or crew members you add. What it costs to run one shop is what it costs to run five.
